Double Side Break Switch – LD2

Robust & Reliable

The LD2 is a simple design using only the best available materials.

High-conductivity extruded aluminum terminals, extruded aluminum blades, stainless steel pivot shaft, aluminum pivot housing.

All parts are fabricated from extruded aluminum or machined from solid billet materials, such as 304 stainless steel and hard drawn copper.

NO CASTINGS

Technical features

  • High strength hot dip galvanized steel;
  • Maintenance-free dry lubricant bearings;
  • Hardware on live parts are made of non-magnetic materials;
  • Current-carrying parts are made of high-conductivity extruded aluminum;
  • Contacts are made of silver plated hard drawn copper;

Current-carrying parts

    • Main contacts are silver plated copper to silver plated copper. The copper parts are tin plated when in contact with an alu- minum surface. All tinned copper-to-aluminum interfaces are cleaned of oxidation and permanently sealed with an oxydation inhibitor. Self lubricating AgC contacts are available as an option
    • Contact fingers are self-resilient and do not require any additional springs to provide contact pressure. During a short- circuit, the electrodynamic forces increase contact pressure.

Optional configuration

The LD2 is available in W Configuration

2 types are available:

  • Substation switch with individual base frame;
  • Transmission switch on unitized base frame.
